No comment on the first issue here but on the second, take a look at the form properties. In design mode they may have gotten a negative value and be instantiating above the top of your screen.

>In the IDE, VFP 7 frequently makes a window full screen when it is clicked on. How do I stop this from happening? Another thing that annoys me is that windows frequently have no title bar so they cannot be disengaged from the top of the screen and moved around. Any secrets on how to avoid this behavior... Thanks.
